Delysid- 2500mics. Use only as directed.
Hope you have a valid prescription for this, JON ;-) Have you ever seen a Sandoz container of IndoCybe or Sernyl? Just curious. I've seen pics of Delysid like this one, but I've not once ever seen a pic of the other two... --Eirias |

a derth of photos
I've never seen snaps of the brand name bottles for either drug. Jeremy Bigwood took photos of psilocybin vials that may have come from Sandoz, but these were just marked with the chemical name. (A picture from him of these appears in the third edition of Psychedelics Encyclopedia.) Any number of pharmacy museums might still have old bottles lying around that could be photographed. Or Jim Hogshire would be a good person to query about photos that may already exist. One of the early editions (late 1950s to early 1960s maybe) of the Physicians Desk Reference might have photos of Sernyl in them, although that may not be the case as I think that it never moved past experimental trials into production approved for medicinal use. It was used for a time in veterinary medicine, but I don't know if vets have a book similar to the PDR. It would nevertheless be interesting to do a survey of all of the editions of the PDR to see what used to be depicted that no longer is. Ketamine, for example, used to be listed. Since it is still used medically in humans, I have no idea why they yanked it. However, the PDR can be viewed as basically just one big advertisement for pharmaceutical companies, and I imagine that most doctors who use ketamine these days are quite familiar with what it does and what it might be contraindicated with (and it has been available as a generic for some time), so it could be that there is no real push from big pharma to keep it in the book. It might make an interesting article to review past issues of the PDR with the goal of finding obvious evidence of corporate and government spin on what was published...
